It doesn't say the cause. Structural failure? Bad storm?

No idea I still haven't seen official word from university's officials

Thunderstorm I read somewhere-not positive. They need to re-evaluate the design and materials before proceeding--and will I presume.

Nvm

Not good at all. Someone f$&@ something up really bad. Someone could have been killed.

It's Troy's fault.

Glad no one was hurt. I'm hoping you guys can get back on schedule as quickly as possible.

That stinks. Thankful nobody was injured.

Since no one was injured:

Definitely glad no one was hurt but I'd imagine that's gotta be a huge set back for jags

Someone's got some 'splainin to do.

Not too significantly. It wasn't going to be ready until late this season anyway, so it will push it off until spring practice or a little later.
And I assume it will be structurally superior to what this first version was going to be.

Was this the facility that was going to be open on the sides or am I thinking of someone else? Or dreamed the whole thing.

TIL folks that have never built a structure in their lives don't realize how unstable things can be before they are tied together through beams, roofs, etc.

Yes, open sided facility.

Yeah...'cause structures are always collapsing during construction.

Happened at the Dallas Cowboys practice facility several years back.

A suspect with an Arkansas tag and matching the picture below was reported leaving the scene of the collapse.
